Oh my good lord that is laughable!!! His sanction was carried out because he was quarantined for breaking the rules and getting Covid.. you can't make this stuff up.

Must say I chuckled when I read about his suspension.

Will Queensland allow the Swans into their state when they learn about this?

I can't believe the amount of whinging going on in this thread. (And I guess my opening sentence just contributed to it.) We know it's a difficult season, but why does this change make any difference at all? Subject to the possibility that the AFL can't complete its 17 round roster for reasons entitely outside its control, we know we're going to play everyone else and I can't see how the order in which we play matters in the slightest. If anything, we are slightly advantaged because we don't have to travel and we meet Richmond when they are out of form. (Does anyone believe Richmond will remain bad all year? If not, isn't it better to get them now?) 

I suspect there will now be a bye somewhere to enable some teams to get a 14 day break which it looks like they will have to have when they relocate and we'll play Essendon in prime time on that weekend.

I understand where you are coming from LDC but this did not just start because of the Virus year we have been watching the same things for three years. How does Brisbane rise from hopeless to their current position and we go back wards?

This works out well for us.

We had consecutive interstate trips to Sydney and QLD over the next two weeks.... now we dont.

Quite likely and what's the bet we stink up our one big TV appearance.... just seems to be our lot.

OD, the whinging I was concerned about was the number of compaints about the switch from playing Sydney to Richmond and suggestions that we are somehow not only worse off but somehow being screwed in the process.

You have my agreement on the issues of game performance

Yes what does it matter when we play teams, this Year we play each side once so what does it matter when?

Ryan is a good mate of mine.

Really great to see him getting serious traction in the industry.

Absolutely ripping bloke and just loves the AFL.

Oh well, if he manages to punch out a reasonable career in this industry, none of the above will be accurate.

It’s of no difference to us if we play Sydney or Richmond this week. Both are equal likelihood to be an embarrassing loss. Now it will be televised too. 

[Fat Tony 5,231]

This may have already been covered, but looking at the fixture, it would appear the AFL is likely to have to shift our game against Freo to Melbourne.

That will depend on WA's policy on their teams traveling to and returning from Victoria.

I haven't seen Richmond play since the re-start. Are they just out of form, hit by injuries or on a rapid decline after a few years of success? Or all of the above?

No idea but you can get short odds on us sparking their turn around.

[John Demonic 5,800]

We're in a great position for 2021. Imagine how psychologically crushing it would be sitting in the top 4 with a big percentage, ready to break a multiple decade premiership drought when the season is called off. ?

So McKenna get basically no penalty for visiting family and going to several open for inspections (which is apparently allowed).

I also know for a fact he visited friends.

that really clears things up for the players. I am sure there will be no further positive tests after the AFL came down so hard on Mckenna for derailing a round of footy

Or we could look at it as an opportunity to hit Richmond while they're well off their mark. Obviously we're playing trash football too but I'd rather face this Richmond than Richmond of 2019.

Will the difference be noticeable Luther.

Nothing I see suggests we will do better than 2019. It is like watching the re runs of a bad movie.

If we knock over the Tigers watch all the doom and gloomers do a complete 180 and start talking flags.

I will be one of them.    ?

[Half forward flank 1,022]

Scenario that is not going to happen.

Goodwin is unavailable to coach this week.

A new coach picks his side with a different vision and altered plan

NOW who thinks we can win?
